Convert between GDM2000 and Peninsular Malaysian States Cassini coordinates using this Google gadget

Note: This Google Gadget no longer works as Google no longer supports Gadgets on web sites. A WebApp version is available on this site http://dominoc925-pages.appspot.com/webapp/gdm2000cassini/default.html.

GDM2000 or Geodetic Datum of Malaysia 2000 and Cassini-Soldner are coordinate systems commonly used in the Peninsular Malaysia States of Johor, Negri Sembilan, Melaka, Pahang, Selangor, Terengganu, Penang/Seberang Perai, Kedah, Perlis, Perak and Kelantam. This Google Gadget will allow you to convert between one or more pairs of State Cassini easting, northing coordinates and geographical GDM2000 latitude, longitude (GRS80) coordinates, all on GRS80 ellipsoid. It is possible to enter your own Cassini-Soldner projection parameters.

To convert easting,northing to latitude,longitude

1. Select the Main tab (if it is not active)
2. Type in one or more easting and northing coordinates in the Easting, northing text box, e.g. 8813.252,-23740.096.
3. Click the Convert to Latitude,Longitude button (black pointing downward triangle).

To convert latitude,longitude to easting,northing

1. Select the Main tab (if it is not active)
2. Type in one or more latitude and longitude coordinates in the Latitude,northing text box e.g. 1:49:39.95355,103:38:24.93554.
3. Click the Convert to Easting,Northing button (black pointing upward triangle)

To change the State Parameters

1. Select the Prefs tab.
2. Select the Use Cassini Parameters drop down list and choose a Peninsular Malaysian state e.g. Johor.
   
   The selected State's Cassini-Soldner parameters will be used for the conversion .
   
   Note: if you want to enter your own parameters, choose User-defined and type in the origin parameters. 

To change the coordinates delimiter character

1. Select the Prefs tab.
2. Select the Delimiter character drop down list and choose a character e.g. comma.
   
   The selected character will be the delimiter for your new key in coordinates and destination coordinates .
   

To change the latitude,longitude coordinate format

1. Select the Prefs tab.
2. Select the Latitude, longitude format drop down list and choose a format e.g. D:M:S.
   
   The selected format will be the format for your new key in latitude,longitude coordinates or the destination latitude,longitude coordinates.
   

Show Borneo R.S.O. (Timbalai) Coordinates Mapplet

Borneo Rectified Skew Orthomorphic (BRSO) on Timbalai datum is a map coordinate system commonly used in the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, and the Sultanate of Brunei. This mapplet will display BRSO (Timbalai) easting, northing coordinates on Google Maps. As Google Maps are using the Mercator projection on WGS84 datum, the mapplet will perform a datum transformation from WGS84 to the Timbalai datum using the Standard Molodensky 3-parameters transformation. Then it will do a projection conversion from Mercator to RSO projection to get the BRSO (Timbalai) coordinates. The mapplet can also locate the position on the map given a BRSO (Timbalai) coordinates. To run the mapplet, just click on this link http://dominoc925-pages.appspot.com/mapplets/cs_brsotimb.html.
